Note

These settings are for the previous version of Microsoft Edge (version 45 and earlier) and are deprecated. These settings will be removed in a future Windows release. Microsoft recommends updating your version of Microsoft Edge to version 77 or later and use the ADMX Ingestion function for management.

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Browser/AllowAddressBarDropdown

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Browser/AllowAddressBarDropdown

This policy setting lets you decide whether the Address bar drop-down functionality is available in Microsoft Edge. We recommend disabling this setting if you want to minimize network connections from Microsoft Edge to Microsoft services.

Note

Disabling this setting turns off the Address bar drop-down functionality. Therefore, because search suggestions are shown in the drop-down, this setting takes precedence over the "Configure search suggestions in Address bar" setting.

If you enable or don't configure this setting, employees can see the Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge.
If you disable this setting, employees won't see the Address bar drop-down functionality in Microsoft Edge. This setting also disables the user-defined setting, "Show search and site suggestions as I type".

Description framework properties:

Property name	Property value

Access Type	Add, Delete, Get, Replace
Default Value	1

Allowed values:

Value	Description
0	Prevented/not allowed. Hide the Address bar drop-down functionality and disable the Show search and site suggestions as I type toggle in Settings.

This policy setting lets you decide whether Microsoft Edge can load the Start and New Tab page during Windows sign in and each time Microsoft Edge is closed. By default this setting is to allow preloading.

If you allow preloading, disable, or don't configure this policy setting, Microsoft Edge loads the Start and New Tab page during Windows sign in and each time Microsoft Edge is closed; minimizing the amount of time required to start up Microsoft Edge and to start a new tab.

If you prevent preloading, Microsoft Edge won't load the Start or New Tab page during Windows sign in and each time Microsoft Edge is closed.

Configure how Microsoft Edge behaves when it's running in kiosk mode with assigned access, either as a single app or as one of multiple apps running on the kiosk device. You can control whether Microsoft Edge runs InPrivate full screen, InPrivate multi-tab with limited functionality, or normal Microsoft Edge.

You need to configure Microsoft Edge in assigned access for this policy to take effect; otherwise, these settings are ignored. To learn more about assigned access and kiosk configuration, see "Configure kiosk and shared devices running Windows desktop editions" (https://aka.ms/E489vw).

If enabled and set to 0 (Default or not configured):

If it's a single app, it runs InPrivate full screen for digital signage or interactive displays.
If it's one of many apps, Microsoft Edge runs as normal.

If enabled and set to 1:

If it's a single app, it runs a limited multi-tab version of InPrivate and is the only app available for public browsing. Users can't minimize, close, or open windows or customize Microsoft Edge, but can clear browsing data and downloads and restart by clicking "End session". You can configure Microsoft Edge to restart after a period of inactivity by using the "Configure kiosk reset after idle timeout" policy.
If it's one of many apps, it runs in a limited multi-tab version of InPrivate for public browsing with other apps. Users can minimize, close, and open multiple InPrivate windows, but they can't customize Microsoft Edge.

You can configure Microsoft Edge to reset to the configured start experience after a specified amount of idle time. The reset timer begins after the last user interaction. Resetting to the configured start experience deletes the current user's browsing data.

If enabled, you can set the idle time in minutes (0-1440). You must set the Configure kiosk mode policy to 1 and configure Microsoft Edge in assigned access as a single app for this policy to work. Once the idle time meets the time specified, a confirmation message prompts the user to continue, and if no user action, Microsoft Edge resets after 30 seconds.

If you set this policy to 0, Microsoft Edge doesn't use an idle timer.

If disabled or not configured, the default value is 5 minutes.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Browser/PreventTurningOffRequiredExtensions

You can define a list of extensions in Microsoft Edge that users cannot turn off. You must deploy extensions through any available enterprise deployment channel, such as Microsoft Intune. When you enable this policy, users cannot uninstall extensions from their computer, but they can configure options for extensions defined in this policy, such as allow for InPrivate browsing. Any additional permissions requested by future updates of the extension gets granted automatically.

When you enable this policy, you must provide a semi-colon delimited list of extension package family names (PFNs). For example, adding Microsoft.OneNoteWebClipper_8wekyb3d8bbwe;Microsoft.OfficeOnline_8wekyb3d8bbwe prevents a user from turning off the OneNote Web Clipper and Office Online extension. When enabled, removing extensions from the list does not uninstall the extension from the user's computer automatically. To uninstall the extension, use any available enterprise deployment channel. If you enable the Allow Developer Tools policy, then this policy does not prevent users from debugging and altering the logic on an extension.
If disabled or not configured, extensions defined as part of this policy get ignored.
Default setting: Disabled or not configured

This policy setting lets you configure the default search engine for your employees. Your employees can change the default search engine at any time.

Important.

This setting can only be used with domain-joined or MDM-enrolled devices. For more info, see the Microsoft browser extension policy (aka.ms/browserpolicy).

If you enable this setting, you can choose a default search engine for your employees.
If this setting is enabled, you must also add the default engine to the "Set default search engine" setting, by adding a link to your OpenSearch XML file, including at least the short name and https: URL of the search engine. For more info about creating the OpenSearch XML file, see the Understanding OpenSearch Standards (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd163546.aspx) topic. Use this format to specify the link you wish to add: <https://fabrikam.com/opensearch.xml>

Note.

If you'd like your employees to use the default Microsoft Edge settings for each market, you can set the string to EDGEDEFAULT. If you'd like your employees to use Microsoft Bing as the default search engine, you can set the string to EDGEBING.

Employees can change the default search engine at any time, unless you disable the "Allow search engine customization" setting, which restricts any changes.

If you disable this setting, the policy-set default search engine is removed. If this is also the current in-use default, the engine changes to the Microsoft Edge specified engine for the market.
If you don't configure this setting, the default search engine is set to the one specified in App settings.
